Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

A technique that supersizes cells to reveal minute details has gone big — really big. Using a polymer similar to those used in nappies to make them super-absorbent, scientists have expanded the volume ...

Scientists have achieved one-nanometer optical resolution in a microscope that can visualize how light interacts with individual atoms and molecules. The technique, called ultralow tip oscillation ...
